IMPROVEMENT IN CULINARY VESSELS.'`

The Schedule rel'ened to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

I, LEVI HERMANGE, of the vvillage ot Lansiugburg, county of Rensselaer and State of New York, have invented au Improvement in Gast-iron Hollow-Ware, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in the construction of castiron hollow+ware to be used for boiling and other purposes, having in -combination therewith a plate secured properly to the outside thereof, so that a flue is formed running vertically between said plate (inclosed thereby) and the side or wall ofthe utensil, anopeniug being provided leading to said due from the interior of the utensil at the top, and an exit-opening at the bottom of said flue, through a flange at bottom of utensil, to space below, and when on the stove to the lire, -as will be hereinafter more fully described. The ue thus formed is for the purpose of removing the surplns steam, and consequently disagreeable odors, to the re, thereby keeping them from the mom; and by the ue outside the utensil no obstruction is formed on the insideto create annoyance in cleaning or difiiculty in casting or finishing.

Description of the Accompanying Drawing.

Figure lis a perspective .view of a pot or kettle having the extra plate in combination.

Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same.

Figure 3 is an elevation of the extra plate.

Figure 4is a perspective view of a pot or kettle having extra plate in combination, but connected dif'- ferently, but otherwise the same.

Figure 5 is a vertical section of the same.

Figure 6 is an elevation of `the extra plate of gs. 4 and 5.

Figure 7 is a vertical section of a straight-sided pot or kettle having thev flue strip secured by dove tailed nibs at bottom and riveted at top; no ange at top or bottom. Y

Figure 8 is a horizontal section of the same; no flange. i

Figure 9 is a horizontal section of g. 7, having flange at the bottom.

Like letters refer to like or corresponding parts.

General Description.

A represents the side or wall of a pot or kettle.

B represents au extra plate, cast separately and afterwardattached to said utensil.

C represents the projections at the upper end, one each side, having holes therein through which rivetspass, fastening it to the utensil.

D represents a flange at the lower part of the utensil.

E represents au aperture therein through which the lower end of the plate B passes, thereby being firmly held at that point.

G represents an aperture through the wall A of the utensil, through which steam escapes from the iuterior of the utensil to the llue H, formed between the plate B and the wall of the utensil A.

At I is the outlet from said flue to the space below the utensil, to permit the escape of steam andodors to the fire.

J, in figs. 2 and 5, represent portions of the 4stove top when the utensil is placed thereon.

In figs. 1, 2, and 3 the plate B is represented as at- I tached to a flange at the top of the utensil, and the opening Gr is through said flange; and the bottom of the plate B passes, in same figs. 1, 2, and 3, downward through said flange at bottom B. This end being inserted irst, the plate is then riveted-at the top, being secured in that manner.

In iigs. 4, 5, and 6 nibs are shown at vL L, through which the bottom of the plate B is dovetailed, and

ed with tubes leading downward, inside either, close to the walls or centrally; but this is a very inconvenient style, as it is very troublesome to keep them hlean.

Such-ware is difficult to cast, and it is impossible to finish them by machinery in a proper. manner;

while in my construction the interior is left freefrom obstruction, thereby readily cleaned; can be machine-nished, polished, &c., without trouble and at slight expense, and the whole is cast as easily as ordinary ware.

The steam escapes readily, odors are kept from the room, and the extra expense is merely nominal..

rIhere may be more than one iiue so constructed, if required, in the same manner around the utensil; but I have found one usually to be sncient.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

1. The casting of the utensil A and flue-strip or plate B in separate pieces, and combining or joining them together, substantially in the manner as herein described andset forth. 4

2. Forming the steam-flue or lues H on the outside ofva cast-iron culinary utensil by the employment of the flue-piece B, or its equivalent, when attached to the utensil A, substantially as herein set forth.

3. The projecting flange I), in combination with the kettle A )and plate B, when constructed and co'mbined substantially in the manner and for'the purpose as described and set forth.
